SENATE BILL NO. 1047
BY HEALTH AND WELFARE COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO THE TRAUMA REGISTRY; REPEALING SECTION 5, CHAPTER 329, LAWS OF
3 2002, TO REMOVE A SUNSET CLAUSE PROVISION.
4 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
5 SECTION 1. That Section 5, Chapter 329, Laws of 2002 be, and the same is
6 hereby repealed.
Statement of Purpose
RS 16589
This legislation would remove the January 1, 2008 sunset from trauma
registry establishment law in chapter 20, title 57, Idaho Code. The
five year sunset was placed on this act to allow time to determine if
the data collected would actually meet the purpose of the law, which was
to develop "a comprehensive trauma reporting system in order to record
information in a central location which will enable policymakers to
assess availability and effectiveness of trauma care." As it turns out,
much of the information needed to determine the appropriateness of the
system and the data was not available without testing it within the
state on a voluntary basis.
The Department of Health and Welfare created an advisory committee for
that purpose which worked for over two years to create an RFP for a
pilot program for such an assessment. By the time the RFP went out to
bid, the contractor was selected and the infrastructure acquired,
developed and tested, there was not enough time before the law expired
to fully test the system. The pilot project, data collection, and
analysis are now in full swing; twelve hospitals throughout Idaho have
tested the data collection system for a minimal dataset; and the
information distribution infrastructure is in development. More than
13,000 trauma cases, including legacy data from four hospitals, were
collected in the trauma registry database. Emergency medical services
and traffic collision records were also accessed by the registry,
allowing data linking and analysis systems to be developed and tested.
The length of time to get a trauma registry up and running was
underestimated and the pilot will be completed as of September 30, which
means the law expires three months later and all this expense and effort
will be for naught.
Fiscal Note
There will be no financial impact to the state general fund.
